Today we’d like to introduce you to Michelle and Forrest Puleo.
Michelle and Forrest have always been dog lovers and dog owners for many years. After Michelle graduated Summa Cum Laude with a degree in Psychology and Biology, she attended dental school. Michelle and Forrest soon realized not every dog received the highest quality of care and decided to follow their passion instead. There was a need for high-quality doggie daycare and boarding services, so they decided to take on this challenge and that is how dogs R dogs was born. They wanted to ensure it is a place where dogs can be dogs and to be the best doggie facility through high quality service, love, and passion. Since the store opened, Michelle and Forrest have adopted or rescued 18 dogs. Through their hard work and perseverance, the continued love and support from clients, and the dedication of the dogs R dogs Team, Michelle and Forrest have seen their business grow and even expand to a second location! Instead of dogs being stuck at home, they wanted to build a facility where all dogs would be able to go to The Treat Lounge, The Sport Center, The Movie Theater, The Ballroom, The Fitness Center, The Day Spa, The Park (indoor), as well as The Outdoors.

If you had to start over, what would you have done differently?
We would like a bigger yard and parking lot. Unfortunately, the buildings we picked were the best suited for what we were looking for at the time. We are located within the inner loop so space was very limited. We took away parking spots to add more yard space for the dogs because the dogs are important to us. We made the tough decision to sacrifice parking spots for humans so the dogs can have a bigger outdoors space.
What were you like growing up?
Growing up, we were always into dogs and rescuing dogs off the streets. At one point, we had over 10 rescue dogs at a time. We had lots of hobbies like guitar, violin, and piano, but dogs and their well-being was always a passion. We loved our dogs so much and hated that they had to stay home and couldn’t join us to ball games, movies, dessert shops, spas, and dancing. That’s how the concept of dogs R dogs was born. We can now bring our dogs to work! They love it, and we love it too!
